I use Rhino OBJ export

Until Enscape decideds to support triplanar projection mapping

You've probably run into terrain where the steep sides of a cliff have their texture stretched so much that it looks unrealistic. Maybe you have a procedurally…

This is a notification and announcement. In short its like "yea, we are not going to waste any more time until we finish the XXX"

Like it or hate it, there really isn't anything the consumer can do, right?

Something does not sound right to me.

So 3.4.4 with current Rhino = working smoothly.

But 3.5.5 with current Rhino = lag and difficult if not impossible to use

and Enscape is demanding Rhino's developer to make changes (to what was working before)

I mean I can understand why it will take very long to fix - because here we are asking people to change something that used to work.

^Totally agree. This is false advertisement.

I have to tell several colleagues to revert back to 3.4.4 due to the update prompt. People in the office were contacting IT / upgrading drivers / discussing upgrading laptop without knowing 3.5 version of Enscape is actually unworkable.

Very disappointed to be honest.

We are in an unfortunate situation here. So you cannot use v3.5 for Rhino. due to the unstable bug mentinoed above.

Then without v3.5 you cannot use Enscape for Revit 2024.

What is actually going on with Enscape? Remembered it used to be rock solid back in 2.9.

This comment may seem harsh, but does everyone think Enscape's product quality has gone way down hill sine Chaos investor's acquistion ?

Do you need to do a lot of fiddling to get to that quality (esp. lighting)

Or is it a one button solution for the Enscape --> Vray conversion?

I can confirm - the same happens to me as jaias92 and shanewilliamson pointed out.

3.5 makes Rhino go so slow and unusable that I have to return to 3.4

It feels like this is becoming a common issue and pattern.

I do not quite understand why everytime a new version comes out, Rhino seems to get the least love.

My advice to Enscape is that when performing product QC before it gets released, at least try testing it with super heavy model with a lot of blocks and groups and polysurfaces. See if an artist can really work with it?

The GI multi-bounce is pretty amazing

Maybe Clemens Musterle could help?

Pretty excited news. Thank you!

Sorry this is out of topic - but thank you for introducing CHATGPT. Interesting AI tech

Quote from BOTOSAUR

It would just be amazing to be able to switch from Enscape to Vray seamlessly without having to redefine all the materials, lights etc...

The best of both worlds.

That, is the exact feature people will be looking for after the Enscape Chaos merger.

Architect can be fired from the job if you present something like what Herbo has shown.

Enscape has a tendancy to introduce WIP functions at each release - but those "new" features rarely get revisited or improved.

- Custom Asset Editor - released but never improved. Not even basic function like categorising assets were added

- Video editor - people on the forum has been crying for update to the interface (how can you "upgrade" the UI at the cost of removing some functionality?)

- Material Editor - nice to have but where is the export / import feature that is so important?

- Video Texture - where is the alpha channel that everyone has been asking for?

I am sure there are other things that people can add to the list.

What is the point of this site context feature if the data source comes from an inaccurate source?

Unless this is a gateway for Enscape to connect with some data agencies and ask the user to pay and get high quality context dataset?

Demian, same here. The v3.2 material editor crash on Revit 2021 has caused me headache to a point that I went back to the old reliable 2.9. So far so good, no crash, no forced geometry reload. Video editor working as it should be.

I think Enscape needs to do a better job in software QA before release. I have never needed to write bug report etc. for Chaos group's Vray software. You can really feel that their product has been through QA and test process before release.

At least, Enscape should automate the bug reporting process - how about automatically grabbing the log and sending to your developers? I'm project architect that needs to deal with so many tasks and Email already...honestly finding it difficult to fill out another form.

The one thing drives me nuts about Archicad is the lack of multiple viewports support. You pretty much just have 1 viewport at a time.

How are you guys dealing with that?

In Revit you can have a plan view opened alongside a 3D view so you get to see what you are modeling in real time.

Could be time to move on.
